Size It Up Animals answer: October 23
The five Animals silhouettes for October 23, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.
Day 50 ran from an Atlantic puffin (30 cm) to a humpback whale (14 m). The widest gap was round 4, Velociraptor against Atlantic Puffin, at 6.7×; the closest call was round 2, Grizzly Bear against Great White Shark, only 2.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
